ton Mt issue is another attempt to elect a Rep
rcsentatye. In previous letters have outln-
ed the divided condition of Republican voters
i'll this district and the defiant attitude of the
enemy. There is no need of further recapitu-
laton than to remark that the present unfortu-
nate status of affairs is the outcome OF the cele-
brated MAY DEAF in our Legislature eighteen
months ago. For that reason we are now liv-
ing under Democratic administration of State
offices. In the coming contest plurality elects.
The Democrats present once more the Hon.
Charles $. Bradley for their candidate. The
Republicans have wisely selected Warren O.
Arnold as their standard bearer and upon his
garments there Is no suspicion of the rava9es
OF "Bossisn." The Prohibitory party will
again aid in the election of Bradley by with
drawing Il very respectable number of votes
from the party to which they naturally belong.
he district Is supposed to contain majority
OF Republicans At the last Congressional
election the Democrats east Il plurality of
votes. Thus matters stand, and he is a wise
prophet who can to-day foretelI which party
shall be successful.
One rather curious feature of the campaign
is the fact that Democratic .'bo>ses' are crack
ing the whip i'll lieu Of their opponents They
have had less practice but are none the less
vigorous on that account. Headed by their
candidate, surprising bids for votes are being
made, some Of which lartake of the contempt
blc in character. 1t is whispered that en-
enlargement of a substantial nature is tender
cd by party >ympathIZerS at distant points.
The possibility of a divided Rhode Island dele
CATION proving pivotal matter in the election
of Democratic President is squirting political
workers to their best mettle.
Another humorous point for consideration
is the attitude of the Providence journal. At
the disastrous conclusion of our election for
State officers last April, the journal was pro-
nounccl traitor by such papers as the New
York Tribune and Boston journal. With a
host of others, Mr.. Editor. Your columns te>ti-
fed to the Journals supposed trcachery. But
within our borders its course was viewed in
another light. 1t rcbuked the dictation of
bosses nohe too strongly for home apprccil-
ton. To-day the Very men who laughed loud

tently attacks his sympathy with Morrison
tariff reforms, and points in plAinest language
to the dangers which threaten protective
Rhode Island in ease of his election. At the
same time it warmly endorses Mr.. Arnold as Il
clean and competent man for the position.
